Hi John,a beautiful way to celebrate my friend.Stunning capture with beautiful color and lighting.When you add the two galleries I've had at BP it's about ten years for me to!!!! #10008159

John, you had me going there with the title. Our Christchurch Cathedral is in ruins so I thought this must have been taken before but now realise it's Christchurch Cathedral in another country. Hopefully our Cathedral will look like this once again. Beautifully captured and congratulations on reaching 10 years with BP. #10008208
